The sound of my mother's scream is the first sound I heard as I woke up that morning.

Not again...

I heard the sound of my father's belt slashing in the air and it landing on my mother's back. I visualized the scene in my head. It terrified me. He terrified me.

I stood up from my bed feeling weak and tired because I haven't eaten in days. I jumped up in startle, my heart beating faster and faster as the sound becomes louder and my mum's scream become louder too.

My heart broke for her. She suffered in the hands of that monster. Her supposed husband, my supposed father.

I ran out of my room when the scream became too loud to ignore. The scene before me shocked me to my bones.

Mum was on the floor and in a pool of her own blood while dad stood over her, a belt in one hand and an iron rod in another. He stared at his handwork for a moment and leaves the house. It was then Femi came out of his room growling, fists clenching and unclenching by his side. I stood rooted on the spot and all I could do was cry.

We were weak...

And there was nothing I hated more in this life than being weak.

"Why?" I managed to croak out

"Why do you keep allowing him to hurt you like this?" I asked further. My mum turned to look at me and even with her blood stained face, I could still see the look of guilt in her eyes.

Her eyes were dead, eye bags under her eyes because of lack of sleep, Her lips were dry, her hair was in a mess as a result of lack of combing and her skin bruised and battered as a result of my father's constant beating.

"Ife mi," My mum managed to whisper.

"I'm sorry." She apologized

What!

"I can't believe this, your apologizing to me after everything. Are we that weak? Why can't you file a case? Or get divorced? Or move? Why do we stay here every day and watch him maltreat us? Maltreat you. And turn you to his personal punching bag—" I rushed out all in one breath.

"—Dami, can't you see the state that she's in? If you don't want to help me get her to the hospital then go to your room." Femi, who had been quiet all this while ordered

"Not until she answers my question," I retorted.

"Must you always act stubborn? How can she answer your question when she's like this? Do you think I don't have something to tell her or ask her? Fucking think. Infact go to your room NOW!" Femi shocked me by shouting the last part because he never shouted. He was the calm one out of both of us and always tried to control himself. He said it with a note of finality in his voice and his veins popping out by the side of his head, a clear sign that he was serious.

"No!" I fired right back and ran out of the house. I hated when people told me what to do. It angered me. I was angry!

No,

I was livid!

I stormed out of the house in a fit of rage, boarded a bike and went to Kosy's house.
